Tires wore out rather quickly, got one season out of them, lasted more like 20K Km if even that, otherwise good enough grip on dry and wet tarmac, kind of squirrelly/ not very confidence inspiring on gravel, although thats to be expected.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

It is the best summer tire that I ever had on my Quattro with 1.9 ton weight
I can to recommend responsibly, it is the best touring tire on 225/50/17 size
52500 km by myself and 5 mm of tread is already present (8 mm new tire)
No matters what your car is, you will be surprised with behavior on the road at any weather conditions

Dry - very good.
Wet - very good.
Snow - really good.
Ice - useless (maybe because of car weight of almost 2 tons).

Probably the worst off all tyres I ever used on my audi A4 and A6 quattro. Wet handling and grip in second season and only 5k km is terrible. Even new one was really bad. Dry is ok. Snow grip is average. It's not loud and relativly comfortable. Overall, total disapointment.
I have a garage and tyre centre myself and I pride myself on only carrying premium products. The Blacklion's have broken the mold, seriously a premium quality tyre at half the cost of a Michelin/Goodyear. I'm riding them on an Audi A6 and I actually find them better than some premium brands. No wheelspin, low road noise and fantastic in wet and dry. I now recommend them to everyone!
Sunny SN 3970 looks good BUT in wet........bad grip! Also the life of the tyre is poor. In dry conditions and easy going drivestyle it's a good tyre. Cheap price.
Excellent value ,,very pleased with tyres I do a lot of miles in my A6 Audi!!,they have been on for twelve MTS ,and still going ,,will definitely buy again ,and the cost was very reasonable ...

good tires, I bought directly from Brisa Turkey at a price of 79 Euro about 68 GBP. I drove on the highway about 500 miles and the first impression is very good, franeza in good condition wet, dry, very quiet, stable cornering. Tires are 205/55R16 94W XL PHENOMA SILICA, INSIDE/OUTSIDE and PLIES : SIDEWALL 2 POLYESTER - TREAD: 2 STEEL + 1 POLYESTER + 2 NYLON. Will keep posted! From Germany.
These tyres are fantastic - they have transformed the grip and now have no hesitation in turning in very fast round corners, even in the wet they are really grippy. They are vey comfortable too and cruising is a pleasure - buy buy buy!!
The grip from these tyres was as most reviewers had stated nothing short of brilliant, even in the snow lasy year.
However, they just do not suit this car at all. From new they were fine, but after about 1000 miles they started to become twitchy. As they have worn further they have become very vague and do not track well at all, following every trough in the road. This makes for a tiring drive having to constantly correct the steering. Wear is also not great, only about 2.5mm remaining after just 12,000 miles.
I had high hopes for these tyres but regrettably would not buy them again for this car.
